"My wife and I wanted a nice, relaxed place to sit outside and have a fun dinner. We were very disappointed with the service. It took our waiter about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity while waiting to order drinks). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and water, but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We haven't seen our server in a long time. We felt our starter was a bit delayed when foodrunners showed up with our starters. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But by this point we were already in the middle of the meal. The food tasted good. Nothing out of the ordinary, but not bad. I admit the nachos were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered had breadcrumbs but that was missing. Luckily, the server took care of it pretty quickly. We were never asked if we would like to have our drinks refilled. And after dinner we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. Neither of the problems on their own would have been a big deal, but together they made a somewhat uncomfortable experience. The waiter was nice and apologized. They also put together the starter for us which was lovely. Maybe it was a free night or maybe a new server but can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. We also enjoyed the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambience was nice."

"Try to get best prices in late August. This hotel, though it's far away from cheap, is a very good spot to explore Midtown Manhattan. It's superior location next to Times Square is best for all first time NYC visitors. But also good for more advanced NYC tourists. The hotel is also located next to the most important subway and bus lines, so it's quite easy to get around in Manhattan. Central Park is also just a few blocks away. Rooms are well maintained. Cleaning staff is super calm. So a sleep in is easily doable. I know, most of you guys are in NYC for the very first time and you say, what a sleep in in NYC. But believe me. When you are on your feet all night long to breath the night in the city, you have to have a rest in the next morning. Currently, the hotel offers breakfast included in your booking. This kind of basic breakfast option comes with tea, coffee, croissants, bagels, cream cheese, lots of jam and chocolate schmear and cereals. No cheese or sausages. During breakfast, they also offer stuff from their menu but beware. Thats the premium breakfast option. If you order such stuff, you gotta pay for it. I would not recommend doing so. Instead, head for a classic bagel shop in NYC cause thats one of the things this city is famous for. The only downside is that the rooftop terrace is actually not part of the hotel. It's a separate club. We haven't been there because we didn't want to wait on the elevator and our touristy outfits also didn't perfectly match the dress code other rooftop visitors were bragging with. If it would have been for hotel guests, I guess, we would have felt much more comfy to go up there. Be also patient with the elevators. The card reading terminals do not always work fine. Can be overwhelming trying it for the first time. Stay cool. All of the other guests encountered the same issues. You will surely not be alone. Hotel staff is friendly. I asked for a later check out because I had to do an important call to make. Unfortunately, they couldn't make it because they had lots of reservations but they were willing to let me check out later. Even introverts will feel comfy with the hotel staff."
